Golden Ribbon

Success for the striver washes away the effort of striving.

     Well, finally, here is my second colored pencil art deco drawing.  I am still trying to figure out all the nuances of using colored pencil but am really enjoying the process.  Working from the top left corner down across to the bottom right I complete a small section at a time.  When the work is completely finished I start over again at the top again going across and down finely tuning each section.  Some may find this process tedious, others may find it meditative.  Either way the end result, I think, is worth the effort.  If you like the drawing above then check out William Morris.  He has long been a favorite artist of mine.  A master of design, his work is so intricate it is almost hypnotizing.
